Hershey man charged with child luring, prostitution offenses

A 45-year-old Hershey man is facing at least one felony after police said he tried to coerce a young girl into his vehicle last week.

The girl was reportedly approached by Rick Lane Foerster, of the 1800 block of East Caracas Avenue, as she was selling magazine subscriptions on his block for a fundraiser Thursday, according to a Derry Township police press release.

Foerster was released from Dauphin County Prison later that day after posting $10,000 bail, according to a search of online court records.

He is scheduled to attend a preliminary hearing July 3 on one count each of promoting or encouraging a young child to engage in prostitution, corruption of minors and child luring, but police were sharing few details regarding the crime itself as of Tuesday morning.

Township police Chief Patrick O'Rourke, who is handling media inquiries regarding Foerster's arrest, was not immediately available for further comments on the case Tuesday morning.
